Nail Salons & Pedicures

Houston has a 9 month long sandal season, so area nail salons are always busy. Pedicures are relaxing, but you should be aware of the dangers of a nail salon. The potential for infection in nail salons are greater than people realize. Here are 5 tips to consider for your next pedicure.
nail salon
▪ Don't be afraid to ask how they clean their instruments. You have a right to know.
▪ Find a salon that uses pipeless foot baths (pictured) or individual bath liners to avoid cross-contamination with previous clients.
▪ You’re more vulnerable for infections just after you shave your legs. By shaving, the razor creates micro tears in the skin, which can allow bacteria to be introduced into the legs.

▪ A good sign you’re in a sanitary salon is a technician wearing gloves. Gloves can help reduce the transfer of bacteria from client to client.
▪ Is the floor dirty? You don’t want to see clippings from people’s toenails and fingernails. The salon should be cleaning up after every client.
